Job Description

A postdoctoral position is immediately available in an established neuroscience research lab at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. The primary focus of the lab is to study individual variations in the molecular components of the stress response and to identify novel blood-based diagnostics and treatments for severe stress states. To achieve these goals, we utilize automated behavioral measures and molecular analyses in preclinical models with different behavioral and molecular stress-reactivity. Then, we translate findings into human studies in collaborative projects to identify and validate blood-based measures of stressful state and recovery.
Prior in-depth training in neuroscience research involving rodent animal models and advanced molecular experimental skills as demonstrated by peer-reviewed publications is a must for this position. Additionally, a solid understanding of fundamental global gene expression and statistical analysis methods is required. Also essential is an ability to communicate and to write scientific reports. This position is most suitable for an individual with substantial initiative and independence.
